Week in Review

I had this idea to start writing a rundown about my weeks.  I would like to start updating my blog every Sunday to include my activities, accomplishments and adventures from the previous week as sort of a recap.

So this week has had its ups and downs, but has had mainly good fun. I began the week as usual: 

Monday morning, woke up early and drove to school.  I remember writing a facebook post when I got to school about how I do not remember driving there at all.  You know those days, whether it was me being tired, dazed or from sheer boredom, I do not remember driving, which is pretty scary when you think about it!  School was good, only one class so pretty short day there, so I went home and finished my homework for the rest of the week.

Tuesday through Thursday day were typical school days.  Adam was sick on Thursday so he stayed home.  When normally we have a long break together to eat lunch and talk on campus, so I spent that time reading and finished the book I was reading, "The Witches of Eastwick" by John Updike.  Excellent novel, Updike is a great writer and I was engulfed in this book, as it took me only less than a week to read.  Also, this book and long break kept me from keeping an internal promise that I would finish all weekend homework on Thursday so I would have the 3-day weekend to be free! 

Thursday night, I worked my last night at the pizza place.  I was upset at first about the reasons behind not working there anymore, but have come to the realization that it is for the best.  After coming home Thursday night, I did not do homework as planned, but drank red wine with Adam and watched a bit of a documentary entitled, "Scott Walker: 3oth Century Man".  However, this was a download from Netflix instant play and our internet connection was not strong enough to let us finish the movie, so its coming in the mail.  What we did see of the movie looked interesting.

Friday was my first day back at Sawgrass after being off for 2 weeks (to adjust to school).  I had a really good day there, catching up with fellow employees and talking with the members.  After work I went to Mark and Martha's, had dinner with Mark's mom, and I actually convinced the two of them to come out to Riverside to hang out! So the 3 of us, along with Adam and Lisa went to Edge 17 in Murray Hill.  The characters there were out of the normal for us, but we drank, talked and danced with each other and a few friends we ran into there.  The company you keep really does make all the difference in the world!

Worked Saturday and still didn't do homework! Adam, Lisa and I drove out to the beach, Adam made plans to hang out with Rick, which of course was nice.  Then, we had a triple couple's date at Campeche Bay! This consisted of Lisa and her date, Michael, Martha and Mark, and of course me and Adam.  The night that followed dinner was one to note! After getting beer, we decided the beach bars weren't for us, so we went back to M&M's where we talked and drank and laughed and cloud gazed and watched youtube videos and drank and took pictures and finally crashed at around 430 a.m.!  So fun! 

Sunday, Adam and I promised each other we would devote the day to homework.  But this didn't happen (are you sensing a theme here?)  We spent the day at M&M's (Martha made us breakfast) watching the Law&Order SVU marathon, we wanted to be outside doing something but we all couldn't agree on anything! Finally, we decided to eat lunch out and have 1 beer at European Street.  When we got there, all the people who were sitting outside with us were attracted to something happening on the street.  Curious, we asked what was going on and found out a car had crash into the side of a building and there were cops and tow trucks all around.  But the kicker and funny/stupid part to the story is that someone driving another car was "rubber necking" to see the accident and hit another car!  It was so bizarre but was certainly not shocking since rubber necking is always going to happen! I call it "nosy neighbor syndrome."  So Adam and I drove home, read for a few hours, then after deciding not to go out, spent the night drinking and talking on Juan's porch with a few friends.

So that leads us to Monday: or officially homework day! Last chance for this!  I woke up, started it and then took a break to have lunch with my dad.  He wanted to check out the Labor Day festivities at the Landing.  We got there right on time to watch an 8-minute Krystal hamburger eating contest! The winner won after inhaling 65 burgers!!  This was an event I never thought I would be witness to!  After lunch, the holiday weekend full of fun and adventure and bizarre occurrences really started to catch up with me.  I took a 2 hour nap, worked on h/w and am now writing this post!  I will finish the day reading and preparing for back to school tomorrow!

The events of this weekend were not out of the norm for me.  I had a really great one, but for the sake of my schoolwork, I hope next weekend is a little less uneventful! Stayed tuned for next week's post and we will see!
